Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Donna here to share a post of two people I love, my daughter and granddaughter. Today I used Quick Quotes Cherry Truffle paper to create this layout. I cut out two hearts and place on of them upside, and found a lacy heart doily in my stash which I knew I had to use. Doilies are being used a lot on layouts and cards, what is your opinion of them? I personally love them and the great thing is there are so many designs to cut out on your die cutting machine. The iron gate near the bottom is also from Quick Quotes, did you know they had chipboard shapes?  Check it out here! I took mine and just inked it up with the Powderpuff Inks from Quick Quotes.

Here is a closeup of the title. I wanted to share you with you a little tip I like to use, and it is so simple, but effective. On this title I used 6 different fonts that I downloaded free from the internet. Even with  chipboard and sticker alphabets I mix colors and types. The fonts I used here in order are, Marquette, Raavi, Bernand MT Condensed, Showcard Gothic, Marketing Script, and Jan Brady.
How do pick the font?

July Quick Quotes Club Q kit

Today I like to show you a canvas I made with Quick Quotes Club Q Altered July kits. These kits are so packed with fun laser cut die-cuts that the possibilities for these kits are endless. There are instructions but if your like me I like to toss them aside, pull everything out of the kits and see what I can create with it, and this is what I came up with. I decided to tear some paper and layer it. I also inked the edges of the frame with Quick Quotes Mocha Mama Powderpuff Ink. Finally before putting a layer of ModPodge on I added some word definitions from an old dictionary, if you look closely they say love, music, harmony, also brushing them with a wash of diluted paint. For the birdcage I put a thin layer of gesso  and then coated it with a thin layer of gold. I used the reverse side of the canvas so I could leave a hole in which I bent the bird slightly to fit the hole I left behind. For the bird I used Quick Quotes Red hot Powderpuff ink and added some gold highlights. 

Before applying Modpodge, the edges where I ripped were white and I wanted them to look more vintage. So what I did was dip a paintbrush into brown paint, and then swoosh my brush around in a little bit of water to give me a wash, I then proceeded to put a layer of watered down paint all over the paper and I love how it created this effect on the edges.

Cracklin Rose

Hello everyone, can you believe it is almost April? I am so ready for the sunny day!
Today I made this heritage page using the great new line from Quick Quotes called Cracklin Rose.
I also used the Kiwi Lane mini Paisley Place Templates to create the wavy border. These templates are so much fun to work with.

I love the Quick Quotes Powderpuff Inks and there are new colors in the store! On this layout I used the new Java ink distressing all the edges. Using a clock template I used the ink in the upper left hand corner, it's a lot easier than digging out paint, no mess and it looks great too! A distresser worked great with Velumn, just be careful not to rub too hard or it will rip, and the Powderpuff inks are perfect to give those edges the distress look you want.  Quick Quotes Family Bundles have lots of different quotes to use on your hertiage layouts.
On this layout I used:
Cracklin' Rose 100
Cracklin' Rose 200
Cracklin' Rose 300
Cracklin' Rose 6X6 Paper Pad
Quick Quotes Family Bundle
Cracklin' Rose Sticker Embellishments
Quick Quotes Powderpuff inks NEW Java and Marachino Cherry
